New Supported Internship partner

Ways into Work form new partnership with Nurture Landscapes to deliver Supported Internships
We are really pleased to be kicking off our partnership working with Nurture Landscapes, an award winning national horticulture and landscape maintenance business, who are offering a wealth of opportunities to young people. You can read about their fantastic work here. It's clear Nurture are passionate in supporting young people through these difficult times. We are delighted to have partnered with them to set up two Supported Internships placements which will provide two young people with a disability the chance to upskill on a 9 month placement, enabling them ultimately to become an attractive hiring proposition to employers.
These interns will be two of over 20 interns starting on supported Internships with us in September, in a variety of jobs and locations across Berkshire and Hampshire. They will work alongside staff at Nurture Landscapes and one of our Employment Coaches who will provide support to both the young people and staff working with them. Supported internship programs achieve great employment outcomes for young people who face extra challenges and also the opportunity for line mangers to develop their management skills to adapt to individual staff needs, notwithstanding it can provide a reliable recruitment pipeline.
